Chapter 346: Charge

As a result, Lan Guangzu was seriously injured, and with the current situation of the Northern Naval Army, the captain was seriously injured, and the battalion of more than 100 people on this battleship was afraid that it would be broken, and the deputy captain could not convince the public, and no one listened to him at all.

Just like the sailors who came later, the sailors on the battleship Stormtrooper, I am afraid that they will have to transfer to other warships to survive.

But now there are too many things like this, and many warships are no longer willing to accept the navy, after all, if there is one more person, just open a mouth, it is not easy for everyone, even if it is a capable captain, he is not willing to feed more people.

At this time, Lan Guangzu's daughter stood up and took over the battleship. In fact, this is not in accordance with the rules, it is said that the son inherits his father's business, even if he takes over the Charge battleship, it is also Lan Guangzu's son, Lan Guangzu has a son, and there are three, the eldest son is nearly thirty years old, just in the prime of life.

The problem is that Captain Lan is benevolent and capable, but his son is not angry, and none of the three sons is promising, let alone taking over the captain, even if they are made a naval army, they are the kind of most unhanging, realistic version of the tiger father and dog.

are all begging for a living on a battleship, a small half of the navy, all of them have grown up watching the captain's son, what they are like, everyone knows what they are like, such a person, even if he takes over the battleship, who is willing to accompany them to play with their lives, even if it is near the sea, it is dangerous everywhere, the sea and the land are different, there is no need for enemies, the sea is the biggest enemy.

Seeing that his father was seriously injured and difficult to recover, he couldn't get out of bed in a short time, and hundreds of people were waiting to eat, at this time, fourteen-year-old Lan Bing stood up and talked to her uncle on the ship, she just had a chance to prove herself.

Lan Bing, this child, is usually silent and looks a little boring, but the old sailors who are familiar with her know that this child's head is good, a hundred times stronger than her three brothers, since she wants to try, then try it, anyway, the situation can't be worse.

Lan Bing's first problem when he took over the Charge was to repair the ship, Lan Guangzu went to sea for the last time, not only was the person injured, but the ship was also injured, although he could barely go to sea, it was easy to go out, but it was difficult to come back, at least after simple repairs.

Everyone is no stranger to repairing ships, but there is no money, not only everyone has no money in their hands, but also the northern navy has no money. You can't report this matter yet, Shangguan knows, and he will definitely let the Charge enter the port to wait for repairs, as for when the ship will be repaired, then wait. The Sea Ghost battleship entered the port the year before last, and it has not been repaired yet, and after being parked for a long time, the Sea Ghost is afraid that it will be difficult for the Sea Ghost to go to sea again.

Xiaolan took the Stormtrooper with her tools, sailed along the coastline for 190 miles, went up the mountains to cut down trees on the shore, and patched the Stormtrooper with wood, so that this tattered battleship could finally go to sea.

The first time he went to sea, he sailed for three days in a row, no one knew what Lan Bing's idea was, and if he didn't get off the net for three days, the navy would have already complained, if it weren't for those old sailors who pressed it, the fourteen-year-old Lan Bing wouldn't have been able to suppress these sailors at all.

It wasn't until the evening of the fourth day, when even the old navy army couldn't hold on, that Lan Bing ordered to anchor and lay a net, which was amazing, and a net actually caught nearly a thousand catties of fish, and it was all big fish.

In one hour, more fish were caught than in the past month. In addition to eating fish with an open stomach, the extra fish can also be exchanged for some coins.

Chunjiang Mansion is close to the sea, although there are not many big boats, but there are many small boats in the hands of fishermen, so the catch here is not valuable, and fish such things, as long as they are out of the water, they cannot be stored for long, and they must be disposed of immediately, otherwise they will stink.

Fish fresh fish fresh, not exactly refers to the fish is very fresh, but this thing can only be eaten when fresh, the speed of fish decay, can be much faster than meat, no more, under the scorching sun, after most of the day, it will become a bunch of stinky fish and rotten shrimp.

Before there was no means of preservation, if you want to make a fortune by fishing, it is a joke, even if you catch more fish, the money you can get in the end is not a few coppers, and most of the fish can only watch it rot.

Xiaolan only let everyone go down the net for an hour, and did not return to Hong Kong after eating, but continued to circle at sea, for half a month, before finally getting off the net, returning with a full load, most of the fish caught on the boat was divided by the navy, and took it home to share with the family, if there is salt at home, it can also be made into salted fish for preservation.

Salted fish is a good thing, it has a long storage time, it is easy to transport, and the sailors themselves are reluctant to eat it, and they can exchange it for money. Although salted fish is good, it needs a lot of salt, there is naturally salt in the seawater, but boiling salt requires a lot of firewood, and it is very corrosive to the iron pot.

Besides, if you can boil salt, you can sell salt directly, and you can also sell salted fish.

Although the fish catch is not worth a few dollars, it can be sold for a little bit, and the first time I returned to the sea, not only did everyone fill their stomachs, but also each person received more than a dozen copper coins.

This is amazing, in the Northern Navy, the captain who can feed his subordinates and the whole family is a good captain, and then he can divide a few copper plates, an absolute first-class captain, and the whole ship is willing to work for the captain.

Lan Guangzu is a good captain, but all year round, everyone can barely eat, even if the family is old and weak, at least two meals a day, as for the matter of dividing money, there can be so many times, so the cohesion of the Charge is very strong, and it did not disperse because Lan Guangzu was injured.

Who would have thought that the fourteen-year-old girl would not only eat big fish and meat every day, but also get money.

Da Chu Shengmin is the most realistic, whoever can let them eat their stomachs, they are willing to work for whomever they want, and they will not look down on Lan Bing because of their young age.

In the next few months, Lan Bing took the Charge to patrol the waters near Chunjiang Mansion, not many fish, just enough to eat, mainly fishing for sea mussels, sea mussels have nothing to eat, so the fishermen don't like this thing, but Lan Bing likes it.

She was studying the habits of sea mussels, and after more than a month, she finally found what she wanted in a sea mussel, an irregular, only fingertip-sized pearl.

After finding the first one, it was impossible to collect, and in the next month, nearly 100 of the finest eight-point beads were found. With a few trustworthy uncles, he secretly entered Chunjiang Mansion and sold the pearls.

In addition to giving everyone a small sum of money, the big head Lan Bing stayed, not because she was greedy, everyone knew how much money she sold, and this money was used to repair and transform the Stormtrooper.

Lan Bing made it clear to everyone that the navy relies on the boat to eat, and the Charge is everyone's lifeline, if it is gone, everyone can only live by looking at other people's faces in the future, and begging others to eat with a dead face.

With the Charge, it's different, it's there, and everyone's days are hopeful. Lan Bing persuaded most of the old sailors, as for the young sailors, they were all apprentices of the old sailors, so they naturally listened to the master's words.

In a few months, the Charge has been reborn, don't look at the appearance is still tattered, but the internal structure has completely changed, the Southern Navy does not dare to compare, among the nearly 1,000 warships of the entire Northern Navy Army, the Charge is definitely the fastest, but also the most robust, the most ferocious firepower of the warship, there is no one.

The sailors usually wear a beggar-like dress, but one person and a set of sailor light armor are equipped on the ship, and the weapons are even more powerful.

The Charge was originally a second-class battleship, and in the Great Chu Naval Army, it belonged to the main battleship, with a full crew of 183 people and six crossbows. After so many years, there are no so many weapons for a long time, and when Lan Bing took over, there were only three bed crossbows on the Stormtrooper, and the other three had long been broken, and there was no money to replenish them.

Now there are twice as many crossbows on the Stormtrooper as there are, a full twelve. In addition, the slap rod, the angle of attack, the hand crossbow, and the trebuchet are not bad, and the number is more than that of the official one.

Originally, these things were all prohibited and were not allowed to be bought and sold privately, but the Northern Navy was poor, and they were sold to their colleagues, and the buyers were also installed on the warships of the Northern Navy Army.

On the Stormtrooper, not only are the weapons complete, but also the inner armor is installed, which is also the method that Lan Bing came up with, on the inside of the ship, a thin layer of iron plates is added, which greatly enhances the defense capability of the Stormtrooper.

In Lan Bing's words, everyone is counting on the Charge to eat, and naturally they will serve the battleship like their ancestors.

If the biggest difference from the battleship is that there is a fishing net device on the stormtrooper, it is a device, not a simple few fishing nets, not only for fishing, but also for use as a weapon in an emergency.

"Stop, stop, Captain Xiaolan ordered to stop the netting, anchoring, and secondary alert. The lookout on the top of the mast kept waving the red flag, and the old sailors could understand the flag, and their faces became ugly.

Even if Da Chu intends to block the information of the Aoren, and the people below are not fools, the arrest of the Aoren Sentinel can't let the people in the court do it, some people have arrested the Aoren with their own hands, and some people have heard about it, and the rumors of the attack of the Aoren are almost known to everyone.

Even the people and sailors at the bottom of Dachu are not all fools, they are not knowledgeable, but they are not stupid, especially those old veterans, who quickly think of the possibility of war.

Drawing a circle along the coastline, everyone knows what the situation is in several state capitals, and it turns out that the northern navy is the most likely to be attacked, after all, there are many ships in the southern navy, and the strength far exceeds that of the northern navy.

In fact, the northern navy is also preparing for war, and the court has also pulled out a huge amount of money, but the armament of the northern navy has been relaxed for a long time, even if the money arrives, it is impossible to solve the problem in a short time.

A second-class battleship like the Stormtrooper can only wait, and there are special and first-class battleships on it, and when they are repaired, it will be the turn of the second-class battleship.
